A leader in shipbuilding, ship repair, and marine transportation.
Proud to be 🇨🇦's shipbuilder under the #NationalShipbuildingStrategy
- Construction Begins on Made-In-Canada Polar Icebreaker! 🇨🇦 Today, Seaspan is proud to share that we have cut steel on the Canadian Coast Guard's new heavy Polar Icebreaker, the most complex and capable ship in their fleet.
- We’ve said it before but we’ll say it again. The Joint Support Ship is loooooooooong. And after a recent block move, the hull is now at its full length under the hard stand! At 173.7m, the @RoyalCanNavy 's future #HMCSProtecteur is the longest naval vessel ever to be built in 🇨🇦.
00:00 - The future #HMCSProtecteur is growing loooooooonger ↔. Watch as the @RoyalCanNavy’s Joint Support Ship’s forward and mid sections join together ⬇ #FutureFleet #NationalShipbuildingStrategy
00:00 - Today we held the launch & naming ceremony for the first Joint Support Ship, HMCS Protecteur. Our shipbuilders, members of the @RoyalCanNavy, representatives from government, & trusted partners from across Canada gathered to celebrate one of the biggest days in Seaspan's history
- 🌊🌊🌊 The Canadian Coast Guard’s new Offshore Oceanographic Science Vessel, CCGS Naalak Nappaaluk, is beginning its Sea Trials today! Stay tuned for more photos and clips this week 📸 @CoastGuardCAN @FishOceansCAN

- #Seatrials for the future CCGS John Cabot have begun! A series of tests over the next 10 days to ensure the ship and its systems operate as designed. It's the last major phase of construction before the ship is delivered to @CoastGuardCAN. Press release: nss.seaspan.com/featured-news/…
- On an ordinary, rainy Vancouver day, we accomplished an extraordinary milestone: #HMCSProtecteur was officially launched. On December 21, the first JSS was lowered into the water; the ship will remain at Seaspan as our team prepares the vessel for sea trials. @RoyalCanNavy
00:00 - That’s a wrap for a very successful #seatrials.👏 The future CCGS John Cabot is heading back to the shipyard to get ready for delivery to @CoastGuardCAN. Very proud of this ship and our incredible OFSV journey. #TeamworkBuildsShips #cdnships #madeinCanada
00:00 - Today we announced that we are teaming up with @genoadesign in a bid to build the Polar Icebreaker for the @CoastGuardCAN and bring ocean tech jobs to #NewfoundlandandLabrador 🙌 #TeamworkBuildsShips #NationalShipbuildingStrategy #cdnpoli #cdnships nss.seaspan.com/featured-news/…
- Getting the vessel ready for today’s ceremony & launch was no small feat. Our team at Vancouver Shipyards expertly manouvered the OOSV around the back end of HMCS Protecteur, which is undergoing preparations for its own launch ceremony this year #NationalShipbuildingStrategy
00:00 - Watch: History in the making 🍁 The longest ship in the @RoyalCanNavy's fleet doesn’t move around easily on dry land. But, our expert shipyards team was up to the task, along with an assist from @mammoetglobal & 456 axle lines of SPMTs, a new record for land transports in 🇨🇦
00:00 - #HMCSProtecteur is on the move again in North Vancouver as it prepares to officially hit the water⚓️ @RoyalCanNavy
